Despite his absence from the NFL, 34-year-old Cam Newton showcased his formidable physicality in a recent altercation that quickly went viral.
The incident occurred during a 7-on-7 football camp at the Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy in Atlanta, GA, where Newton found himself embroiled in a brawl with members of the TSP (TopShelf Performance) team.
Reports indicate that a member of the TSP team attempted to blindside Newton, provoking a fierce response from the former Carolina Panthers starter. Despite the chaotic scene, Newton, known for his imposing stature at 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, displayed remarkable strength as he fended off multiple adversaries without removing his trademark top hat.
Video footage of the altercation circulated widely, drawing attention to Newton’s physical prowess and raising questions about the motives behind the confrontation. However, observers noted Newton’s resilience and ability to hold his ground amidst the chaos.
Interestingly, Newton’s own team, the C1N 7-on-7 All-Star Team, emerged victorious in the tournament, showcasing their ability to navigate tense situations on the field.
For Newton, whose last NFL snap occurred in January 2022, the incident reignited discussions about his future in the league. While the quarterback has expressed a desire to continue playing, some suggest that his defensive skills and physicality could offer alternative career opportunities if a return to quarterbacking proves elusive.
